Energy

Partner

Thomas Chellingsworth is a partner at AKD, with more than 25 years of experience in energy law and energy projects. His clients are mainly developers of renewable energy projects, grid operators and public authorities. The common thread in his practice is the energy and climate transition, with a strong focus on green energy projects (including offshore and onshore wind, biomass and biosteam), the regulation of energy infrastructure (including electricity, gas, heat and hydrogen networks as well as submarine cables and pipelines), market organisation (including the regulation of network tariffs and energy prices, subsidy schemes, the unbundling of monopoly and competitive activities, security of supply and capacity mechanisms) and energy-related contracts (including (corporate) PPAs, FIDIC-based construction agreements and contracts for connection and access to networks). In addition to advising on energy projects, Thomas represents clients in dispute resolution procedures before the civil courts, the Council of State, the Market Court and the Constitutional Court.
